About this property
Spacious Cottage With Lovely Views And Garden/woodland, Privately Situated
La Maison d'Amis is a traditional detached stone Perigourdin cottage located within Perigord /Limousin Regional Natural Park. This one bedroom property is spacious and airy with wonderful high ceilings and stone walls. A fully equipped kitchen, spacious lounge/diner and adjoining bedroom with french doors open to the garden for relaxing in the sun. Three different sitting areas with outside table and chairs. Blackout curtains in the bedroom are perfect for a good nights sleep. Separated by a courtyard and large barn from the owners house it is very private and has it's own garden with views across the valley and meadow and backing onto a small wood where you are free to walk the footpaths. The property is all on one level apart from a small step between the kitchen and main living space. Access to the property from the parking area is via a grassed path into a courtyard which has some cobblestone areas. It is slightly uneven but accessible with care for people with limited mobility . Great for bird watchers and nature lovers, we have seen black woodpeckers, tree creepers, nut hatches and hoopoes amongst many others . It is an ideal retreat for a peaceful break, perfect for couples or friends. The road to Chez Neymard and La Maison d'Amis is literally on the way to nowhere, we are at the end of a single track road, so peace and quiet is assured.

Located in Saint-Pardoux-la-Riviere, this cottage is in a rural area. La Grotte de Villars and Boschaud Abbey are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Espace Hermeline and Golf International de la Preze. Discover the area's water adventures with fishing and swimming nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with cycling and horse riding.
Pretty rustic cottage, full of character and in an idyllic setting. Clean & tidy with a well equipped kitchen. Friendly hosts. We'd definitely book again if returning to this area.
The Gite delivered exactly what we wanted, a comfortable stay in a peaceful rural setting. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Our hosts made us very welcome.
Really lovely gite, lots of space inside and out. Well equipped kitchen, plenty of towels and toiletries provided. Ruth & Adrian were great hosts, there if needed but never intrusive. Bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival was much appreciated too. Lots to do in the local area. We had a fabulous two week stay. Beautiful hand made baskets to purchase as a souvenir too.
Beautiful property, ideal for a peaceful idyllic stay. The property feels remote but is actually within really easy distance of the pleasant village of St Pardoux la Riviere which has a couple of restaurants and a well stocked supermarket.
Lots to see and do in the surrounding areas and we could easily have spent longer in this part of Perigord.
Beautiful Gite clean and very welcoming the host were friendly and helpful in getting us settled in . Nothing was to much bother if we needed help. Peaceful surroundings and lovely garden to relax in . Would highly recommend the beautiful Gite

An outstanding property- simply oozes character!
We spent two weeks in this exceptional property and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The gite exudes exceptional character and has a rustic feel which combines with all modern living requirements. It has been designed and renovated with great attention to detail and incorporates a lot of what can only be described as "great thoughts!" The location is also ideal for anyone who is looking for an extremely relaxing and quiet break well away from the normal "tourist" bustle as it sits on an elevated site in beautiful countryside with commanding views across open countryside. It has the added attraction of allowing exposure to lots of wildlife which can either be encountered by walking on any of the adjacent country walks through natural woodland or simply observing the small wild deer which emerge from the adjacent woodland. It is also very close to the lovely town of Saint Pardoux La Riviere and trips to the village of Saint Jean de Cole and the town of Brantome are highly recommended. We would have absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending this property to anyone who is looking for rustic charm,simply wants to "listen to the silence!" and experience French rural life.

We are really glad you enjoyed staying in our gite and appreciated all the effort we have put in to make the place a comfortable and relaxing stay away from everyday busy life. We look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks.
Un endroit où se ressourcer dans un décor magnifique
C'est un lieu de séjour inoubliable grâce à l'attention des hôtes, au sens de la décoration tant intérieure qu'à l'extérieur dans le jardin, la terrasse et tout l'environnement. C'est l'idéal pour être tranquille, au milieu de la nature avec un équipement largement supérieur à la moyenne dans le logement. Nous avons passé 4 jours des plus agréables !
Maison conforme au descriptif, ainsi que son environnement : magnifique.
Ruth et Adrian sont des hôtes très charmants et discrets : merci encore pour votre accueil et l'attention dans le frigidaire. Vous pourrez profiter des réalisations de vannerie et échanger sur leur métier. Vacances très reposantes pour nous dans un cadre de verdure et un écrin de nature superbe.
Merci à vous pour nous proposer votre très jolie maison d'amis qui est un havre de paix et une très belle restauration.
A très bientôt nous l'espérons.

We hebben een heerlijke en relaxte vakantieweek gehad in dit unieke perigord-huisje met prachtige natuur als omgeving. Ver weg van alle drukte, maar met voldoende voorzieningen dichtbij. Ruth en Adrian hebben ons geweldig ontvangen en waar nodig geholpen, rekening houdend met onze privacy. Kortom een prachtige speciale plek om met z'n tweeën te genieten met zorgzame "hosts" om op terug te vallen. Zeker waard om nog eens terug te komen.
Lieu au calme, parfait pour se déconnecter. Si on veut retrouver la civilisation ce n'est pas loin. Tout est fait pour que l'on se sente à l'aise. Les propriétaires sont attentionnés et discrets.
En un mot : top!
La gentillesse des propriétaires, la petite attention dans le frigo, l'équipement de la maison, la propreté, le jardin, la région... Grande maison, très bien pour 2. Nous y retournerons très certainement avec grand plaisir.
Très belle location, spacieuse, confortable et bien équipée, parfaitement calme, dans une magnifique campagne, en lisière de forêt. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le charme du gîte et sa signature artisanale. Très beau jardin et terrasses pour profiter de cet environnement entretenu et préservé, et pour contempler le ciel étoilé. Merci à nos hôtes pour leur discrétion et leurs bons soins !
Très agréable séjour durant une semaine malgré une météo capricieuse ;-) plein pied spacieux et confortable avec un petit présent à l'arrivée. La nature à portée de main tout comme les randonnées. 3 petites tables extérieures à choisir selon l'
We felt very happy as if we were in our own little Paradise.
Every day we had sunny weather; we could choose on wich terrace we would like to sit and enjoy the beautiful and peacefull surrounding.
We had everything we needed in the cottage and we
ate on one of the terraces every day, had a barbecue with a glass of wine, and mostly rested, read, and enjoyed!
Adrian makes beautiful baskets from their own cultivated willow branches. We bought a garden basket as a souvenir and as a reminder of this wonderful holiday!
